Cards (4)

  • training of emergency services

    training on how to deal with injuries and how to keep people calm
  • education and public broadcasts
    education ensures a population know what to do in extreme hazards
    Japan = earthquake drills
    public broadcasts allow the population to prepare themselves for the hazards
  • survival kits and family plans
    survival kits mean people have all necessary resources which means they are more prepared for the natural hazard, eg canned food
    family plans make evacuating more efficient as each family member will know what to do
  • government plans and exclusion zones and evacuations
    exclusion zones are large areas of clear land that people can evacuate to so nothing can fall on them
    gov can help by creating these zones and ensuring t=buildings have safe exits and are sturdy
